Pool maintenance · Cascais, Estoril & Alcabideche
Weekly cleaning, water balancing and equipment care by one person who knows your pool — not whoever is free that week.
Services
From the weekly routine to the pump that stopped on a Saturday. No call centre — you talk to the person who does the work.
Skim, brush, vacuum, baskets, filter, water test and dosing, equipment check. Same day each week, same person.
Green or cloudy water, stubborn pH, salt systems out of tune — diagnosed, corrected and explained so it stays fixed.
Pumps, filters, chlorinators, heaters and lights. Small repairs on the spot; larger jobs quoted after diagnosis.
Spring start-up with a full equipment check and first balance; autumn protection so the pool survives winter cleanly.
Recovery after neglect, storms or an algae bloom. Before a rental season or a party — with a fixed date you can rely on.
Regular visits while you are abroad, with a message and a photo after each one. Your pool is ready when you land.

A visit
About 45 minutes for a standard residential pool. Nothing skipped — the reviews say so.
Leaves, pine needles, insects — before they sink and stain.
Tile line, steps and corners where algae starts first.
Manual vacuum where the robot never reaches.
Pump and skimmer baskets cleared so flow stays strong.
Pressure checked; sand, cartridge or glass media serviced as needed.
pH, free chlorine, alkalinity, salt and stabiliser — measured, not guessed.
Only what the test calls for. You see what went in and why.
Pump, filter, chlorinator, timer, lights — small issues caught before they cost money.
Then a short message to you: done, balanced, anything to watch.
Plans
Prices depend on pool size and equipment — these are typical starting points. Chemicals are charged at cost and listed on every visit.
The full visit, every week. For pools in use from May to September — or all year.
For covered or low-use pools in winter. Keeps the water safe and the equipment healthy.
A deep clean, a green-pool recovery or a season opening — one job, one date.
ROUTE · CASCAISAbout
I spent years looking after pools for larger companies around Cascais. The work was fine; the model wasn't. Clients would get whoever was available that week, and nobody really knew their pool.
In 2026 I started on my own with one rule: you always get me. I know your equipment, your water, your schedule — and if a visit day has to move, you hear from me first.
I'm based in Alcabideche and cover the whole Cascais municipality on a fixed weekly route. A large part of my clients are international residents, so we can work in English or Portuguese, whichever you prefer.

Reviews
After years of working with larger pool maintenance companies that seemed to do the bare minimum, switching to him made a noticeable difference almost immediately. He is reliable, detail-oriented, and truly takes pride in his work. He also speaks English, which makes communication easy and seamless.
Our pool had water balance issues, and after just a few visits it was completely restored — crystal-clear and perfectly safe. He also took the time to explain the maintenance process in a simple and transparent way, which builds a lot of trust.
He has extensive knowledge of my pool equipment, its maintenance and its durability. His communication is top-notch — he lets me know well in advance if he needs to change the service day and is available to come on unscheduled days if I have a pool party planned.
Tomás has been taking care of our pool for many months and we couldn't be happier. Always punctual, meticulous attention to detail, and our pool is spotless all year round.
Excellent work! Tomás is not only a wonderful person, but also very polite and friendly. My pool is always spotless.
5-star service. Tomás is always very attentive and professional — he doesn't miss a thing, always paying attention to the smallest details.
Excellent professionalism and attention to the client, always very kind and attentive when we request extra assistance.
Tomás is super professional and dedicated.
Top service, I recommend.
FAQ
Weekly from May to September, when the pool is in use and the sun burns chlorine fast. In winter, fortnightly is usually enough for a covered or low-use pool.
